A circular bronze medallion features a warm brown patina and low-relief motifs. On the lower left, flame-like swirls rise from a stack of horizontal logs. Above, a bird with outstretched wings descends toward a band. To the right, a vertical sword points upward through a crown. Subtle glints of light on the bronze highlight the raised textures against a smooth background, defining the symbolic forms and the metal's aged surface.
